For 1 point - what is this, from when?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

It is (if I have all the players right) a Kaiser-Willys Crown Wide-Trac prototype from 1960.

I didn't have the word "Crown" in its name but the rest of it is what I have too!
Well done.

It was built by the Crown Coach Corp. and the design probably was made by Brooks Stevens.

Wendax is right - Crown Coach built this prototype "Wide-Trac" Jeep for Kaiser Industries circa 1960.

"One of Kaiser's pet projects was the International Vehicle Investigation program, or IVI. This project was funded in part by the government in an effort to develop a low-cost vehicle that could be produced in 3rd world countries. Several body styles were designed, including a pickup, pickup panel, and a van-like troop carrier. Apparently Willys contracted with Crown to build at least one of these models in 1960. The IVI vehicles in the last 2 photos below look like design studies but the Wide-Trac pickup built by Crown has a nearly identical design. That van model would have been very interesting if they built it".

I know - my introduction to my elaboration was, shall we say - clunky?  ;)
